Congratulations to Rachel on earning 100% on the history assignment we worked on last week re: the causes of World War One! Our work today focused on re-structuring an essay on Oscar Wilde's play, "The Importance of Being Earnest." Rachel prepared an outline for the essay and we used it as a framework for her composition and how she will approach this opportunity to re-write her original essay. Rachel says she didn't allow for enough time on the original essay and her English teacher shared that it was too short and didn't incorporate enough quotes to support her point of view. During our session today, Rachel demonstrated solid comprehension of the themes and characters in the play. We revised the thesis and Rachel is going to focus on the themes of status, marriage and religion in the Victorian Era. Rachel said that just being able to talk about the play, themes and characters was helpful. The revised thesis will hopefully help Rachel to re-construct a more cohesive body that contains more solid examples and conclusion. Shared with Rachel that I am really impressed with her grasp of the material and the play. Her comprehension is strong. It seems she is on the right track with the work she is doing on her revised essay.
